One lesson a day to read the classics, this is the Erya Book Garden. Today we begin the study of the 342nd lecture of the Xunzi Daily Lesson on the "Correct Name Chapter". Welcome to leave a message to communicate.

Later king's fame: the criminal name is from the shang, the knighthood is from the Zhou, the literary name is from the ceremony, and the scattered name is added to all things, then from the Zhuxia period. Distant and exotic places, therefore, are universal. The one who is scattered in man: the one who is born is called sex; the sum of sex is born, the essence of induction, and the nature of nature is called sex. The good, the evil, the joy, the anger, the sorrow, the pleasure of sex, are called feelings; the emotions but the heart chooses for it, which is called worry; the mind can move for it, which is called false. Accumulate thoughts, be able to practice, and then become false. What is right is said to be done, and what is righteous is said to be done. Therefore, those who know in people are called knowledge, and those who know something are called wisdom. Therefore, those who can be in people are called able to do so, and they can be said to have the ability to be combined. Sexual wounds are called diseases, and frugal encounters are called fate. It is also the name of the person who is scattered in the people, and it is also the fame of the queen king. (Xunzi Zhengming, Chapter 22, 01)

Later king's fame: the criminal name is from the shang, the knighthood is from the Zhou, the literary name is from the ceremony, and the scattered name is added to all things, then from the Zhuxia period. Distant and exotic places, therefore, are universal.

The modern Saint King determines the name: the name of the criminal law is modeled after the Shang Dynasty, the name of the title is modeled after the Zhou Dynasty, the name of the Zhayi system is modeled on the Book of Rites, and the name of all things is modeled on the customs and commonly agreed names that have been formed in the various princely states in the Central Plains. Remote areas with different customs rely on these names to communicate with each other.

The one who is scattered in man: the one who is born is called sex; the sum of sex is born, the essence of induction, and the nature of nature is called sex.

Various specific names about man himself: born this is called nature. What nature and qi produce, the reaction of spirit to foreign objects, and what is naturally formed without acquired efforts are called nature.

The good, the evil, the joy, the anger, the sorrow, the pleasure of sex, are called feelings; the emotions but the heart chooses for it, which is called worry; the mind can move for it, which is called false. Accumulate thoughts, be able to practice, and then become false.

The hobbies, dislikes, joys, angers, sorrows, and pleasures of nature are called feelings. Feelings are these aspects, and the mind chooses them, which is called thinking. After thinking about it, the senses act accordingly, and they are called man-made. Thinking accumulates over time, the faculties are practiced repeatedly, and then a norm is formed, called artificial.

What is right is said to be done, and what is righteous is said to be done. Therefore, those who know in people are called knowledge, and those who know something are called wisdom. Therefore, those who can be in people are called able to do so, and they can be said to have the ability to be combined. Sexual wounds are called diseases, and frugal encounters are called fate. It is also the name of the person who is scattered in the people, and it is also the fame of the queen king.

Doing it for the sake of utilitarianism is called a cause, and doing it for the sake of morality is called virtue. The innate ability to know things is called knowing. The ability to know and the things that are known conform to what is called wisdom. The inherent ability to deal with things in people is called energy. The suitability of instinct and processing is called talent. Damage to nature is called sickness, and encountering timing is called fate. These specific names about man himself are the names determined by the modern Holy King.

Talking about money does not hurt feelings, and seeking utilitarianism does not insult virtue. Without personal utilitarianism, to talk about public interests, it is often empty of passion, and it is difficult to be pragmatic. Their own survival is uncertain, why should they seek the welfare of the masses. Career is the inevitable stage of reaching virtue, and the moral exercise of career is more complete and sublimates the value of life.
